Massb Foundation

“The MASSB Foundation is governed by the Trustees, who partner with the MASSB organization, which is comprised of members of each of the local boards who elect a Board of Directors on a bi-annual basis. The Trustees work closely with the Board of Directors in accomplishing the mission of both the Foundation and the MASSB organization. The MASSB organization does not elect the Trustees, nor do they have any authority over the Foundation's decision-making process.”

“Home addresses for the Trustees are as follows: (1) Mark Poerio, 103 Market St., Annapolis, MD 21401; (2) Chris Cummings, 13903 Ensign Rd., Solomons MD 20688; (3) Kenneth White, Revere Bank, 319 Main St., Laurel, MD 20707; (4) Sam Williams, 9710 23rd St., Adelphi, MD 20783; (5) Tony Wohlers, 1105 Thebes Dr., BelAir, MD 21015; (6) Karen Lane, 12053 Steven La., Dunkirk, MD 20754.”

“Upon a successful audit performed by Kullman CPA, LLC, a draft of the 990 and all of its associated schedules was sent to all Trustees, officers, local board chairs and local board treasurers on 30 April, 2022. Their comments were invited, received and incorporated into the final Form 990 and schedules that are now being filed. All who received the 990 and schedules were asked to critically examine it and confirm and to comment on its accuracy based on their personal knowledge of the MASSB Foundation's operations at both the local and state-wide level.”

“The Foundation and its trustees generally do not contract for services or products except on a limited basis with independent vendors. In 2021, the only contractual services required were for the audit, which was conducted by an independent firm with no connections to any trustees or board members.”

“The MASSB Foundation's website (www.massbfoundation.org) quotes from its governing trust agreement regarding the IRS-approved purposes of the Foundation's 501(c)(3) mission. The website identifies all trustees, provides substantively rich information about the Foundation's operations and finances, and explains that its governing documents are available upon request, which may be made by email or letter to the Foundation's main address.”

“Social Service programs substantially like those described in lines 4(a), (b) and (c) were funded in 2021 by the following MD Counties: Anne Arundel, Caroline, Baltimore City, Frederick, Kent, Queen Anne's and Washington.”

“An independent audit of the Foundation's 2021 financial statements was performed by Kullman CPA LLC. The audit resulted in no findings, no material weaknesses and no discrepancies.”
